IUEC135ELEVATOR Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) So I decided I wanted a 7.3 emblem and I like the "7.3 Godzilla" emblems out there but Godzilla name is to commercial (movies). Sooooo...I decided to change it up. Edited May 7, 2022 by IUEC135ELEVATOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Slick Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Nope. Don't like it. JMHO. I Think 7.3L is OK, just not with a name after it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the honesty.... the reason I'm asking is if everybody on here says it looks like crap and and its ghetto ricer aftermarket... Well then that means everybody that sees the truck going down the road will probably think the same thing, and that's not what I want on my truck. I live in the land of Super Duties... and I don't want the same super duty truck everybody else has. I figured I'd try something unique. Worst case.... it's only on with 3M?

Rangers09 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Looked at it a few times and I'm unfortunately agreeing with the previous reply. Just 7.3 might be OK, or even with "Godzilla", if it was available. Sorry, "Dreadnought" just doesn't work. Looks a bit tacky & glitzy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigUnixGeek Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 All I can tell you is that I will not be beating down your door to get one, even if the finish on it were perfect. Not for me. I've considered the "Godzilla" ones I've seen, but I really don't like the font, which is similar to what you've got pictured. If the font & finish were right, I'd consider a "7.3L Godzilla" badge or sticker -- just haven't seen one that I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quigs Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I usually tend to take badges off my vehicles personally, not add to them. I think the badge looks cool as a standalone thing, but on the truck I do tend to agree that it looks a bit tacky. I don't even care for the other versions of 7.3 badges people have put on. For some reason the Powerstroke badge looks okay to me, but all the versions of 7.3 badging I've seen just look out of place for some reason.

KKosi Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 If you like it, does it really matter what everyone else thinks? It's original and doesn't look all that bad. For me the name has no context JMHO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twintornados Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks. If you like it, thats all that matters....but when I think of "Dreadnought" I think of Star Trek and the ship that Khan Noonian Singh helped Admiral Marcus build in the Kelvin timeline...

Wrong?...you guitar is a dreadnaught, not a dreadnought. ? It's the meaning behind the word I was going after.... not a model named like a Vortec or Powerstroke or Vtec, it just something I wanted to try, like I said, some people may think it's stupid and ridiculous other people might like it. either way I'm on the fence I might say screw it I don't care what anybody thinks or I might say everybody thinks it's stupid I really don't want that looming around on my truck??? I guess it all depends on what kind of mood I'm in, if i am in the Frack everybody moood or the (try to be part of the crowd / Society mood).... it varies day today with me??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Slick Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I guess I'm old. I don't even know what a Dreadnought is. I know what a Dreadlock is, but I wouldn't want those on my truck either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what it is but I'm wondering if you know what it is but then you may know what it is and know that it's the same thing that I know what it is. ? now a dreadlock is not a dreadnought but there could be a dreadlock on a dreadnought and there could be a dreadlock that is a dradnought...we could be in a deadlock...lol Everybody knows what everything is now that Google is here to stay????

IUEC135ELEVATOR Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 No no no..... dreadnought (n.) literally (one who or that which) "fears nothing," from the verbal phrase (drede ich nawiht is attested from c. 1200); see dread (v.) + nought (n.). As a synonym for "battleship" (1916) it is from a specific ship's name. Dreadnought is mentioned as the name of a ship in the Royal Navy as early as c. 1596, but the modern generic sense is from the name of the first of a new class of British battleships, based on the "all big-gun" principle (armed with 10 big guns rather than 4 large guns and a battery of smaller ones), launched Feb. 18, 1906. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Truck Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 The emblem looks very well-made, and the colors go well with the truck (IMO). I would not buy it to put on my truck, mainly because of the size of the emblem with the long name. Godzilla may work, but not as well as "Raptor" of "Tremor." For me, the name recognition plays a role in the desireability of the badging- and I am not big on the badging to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OREGUNFIRE Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Maybe: 7.3 GASAHOLIC SD or if you going for the boat thing is could be the USS GASSER Just kidding. if you like go for it.

CBears Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I dig the font, not sure about the name itself. Was considering some sort of Godzilla badge for mine but honestly, I'm a pretty offensive driver. I don't really like a whole lot about my truck to be recognizable if you catch my drift. ? That being said, it seems to match the side of the truck well. I also like how you did it, looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too use the power of the 6.7 and it may appear to be offensive/aggressive and I too do not want anything recognizable on my truck, Thats why I dont have "iam a firefighter" type stuff on my truck. No stickers, no nothing. I will be honest tho, I have thought about getting a thin blue line sticker just so if the cop'ers pull me over they may think I like them. Any firefighter knows the cops hate the "spoiled boys in the big red toys"... But, thats why I always tell them, If you were smarter you could have been a firefighter too.. kidding,, (kinda)... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
